When Denizens Brewing Co. opens its 12,000-square-foot brewery and taproom on May 25, it doesn’t just mean more beer for Maryland’s Riverdale Park neighborhood. It’s the start of more locally brewed suds for the region. “We built it for distribution so we can send beer out into the field,” says Co-founder Julie Verratti, adding that Denizens maxed out on meeting demand about three years ago. “Our hope is to sell a lot more beer in D.C. and Maryland.” Enhanced Northern Virginia distribution is also on the table.
